Quercus ilex - Evergreen Oak tree 8/10cm girth

Quercus Ilex is a large, slow growing, tough tree with a broad, rounded crown when mature. Also known as the Holly Oak and Holm Oak it has dark green, glossy leaves with toothed edges similar to a holly. In warmer areas it will bear yellow catkins in spring followed by small round acorns in late summer.

Quercus Ilex will make a very effective evergreen screen when clipped and is tolerant of dry soils, salt winds and air pollution. This size has been grown with a clear stem of approximately 1.8m making this is an ideal tree for creating privacy without encroaching on the rest of your garden as it can be kept to a size to suit the site. Is also grown in bush form to make a very effective hedge.

This is a great Specimen tree for larger gardens, parks and woodlands but equally at home clipped in the smallest of spaces.
